Lily and the Fairy House

I wish I had this book as a little girl. It is the most beautiful story and picture book that I have ever come across. I have to share with you some of the illustrations.

This is where Lily makes the Fairies a swing out of ribbon.

Here Lily has made a tea party for them.

The whole book is like this! Lily decides to make a home for the fairies who she believes live in the garden. She waits quietly for them to arrive. She then makes friends with them. The story is extremely sweet and caring. There is a gentleness to the book that makes me smile. The illustration are simply beautiful, capturing the essence of a fairy world. I have to give this book my highest accreditation. I haven't come across it in the book shops, so I went on a search and found it can be sourced through Whitcoulls and Paperplus.

About Me

This started as a university project and has since evolved. It has become a family favourite as my children wait to read my next post. They continually seek out new titles for me review and its been a great encouragement to their reading. I have conversed with many new authors and have found reading their books extremely inspiring. It is these great authors and my children, that keep me reading and reviewing the awesome aray of books and suggestions I receive.
As I take my joy of reading to the world, I hope that one day it will be my students books that I will be reviewing.
